and Marcin Rodziewicz
ABSTRACT
Simulation tools for the evaluation of several radio interface technologies including International
Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced) and 5G radio interface technologies are
described. First, the importance of simulation as an experimental and evaluation method and its
evolution is outlined against the background of the history of development of cellular systems.
Subsequently, the guidelines for evaluation of 4G radio interface technology dened by the
